  Yum! Not sure why we waited so long to come by! It's our second visit in a week that delicious! We tried the carnivore as is, large feeds like three to four people but you'll end up eating more for sure! Thin crispy crust they brush garlic oil on the edge makes it so extra perfect! For as many toppings still turned out crispy and delicious wood fired crispy.
  
  We also tried the popular recommended stinger pepperoni with thin jalapeño slices and honey- it's a sweet beginning and end taste great to add and ask or fresh arugula on top
  
  Recommend this place for sure! Extra crispy well done with extra garlic oil on every pizza, try it! M
  Great dine in customer service you can call in orders to speed up service too. Super super clean restrooms, five star experience we'll be back thank you all!

  This pizza was delicious!!!  Thin, crispy but tender crust.  We got a medium pepperoni pizza and it was a generous size (my son and I ate half there and brought the other half home for my hubby).  It came with a light dusting of Parmesan and the edges tasted like they were brushed with garlic-infused oil... yum!!!  
  
  They have indoor as well as patio seating.  Their sodas are craft (unfortunately we didn't see non-carbonated options like lemonade).  They serve beer and wine as well.
  
  It took a while for our pizza to arrive but I chalk that up to everything being freshly made.  
  
  They also have a weekday $10 lunch special that includes a two-topping 8" pizza, salad and drink.

  Tasty wings, fresh and flavorful salads! Pizza's are yummy too, but overpriced for the amount of food you actually get. Be careful when reading the menu and choosing your pizza. We ordered the "parallel pie" and made the mistake of assuming it had sauce. (Our bad). It took 45 mins to get the order. When we got it, we were super disappointed to find it was basically dry garlic bread, no sauce and super salty. The pizza descriptions on the menu literally list all ingredients, not just toppings, so if it says red sauce you're good. If it does not list a sauce, it's going to be more like a fancy bread.
  
  Although we did not eat the garlic bread/pizza, we were pleasantly surprised and completely won over by the great customer service of the staff, especially the manager, Ben. They were super busy tonight, and I know even great restaurants make mistakes. It's not about the mistake, it's how they handle the mistake that matters to me. When I called they apologized and was totally understanding and did not charge for the pizza. Because of this we will definitely go back and just read the menu more carefully.

  I don't ever come to South county much, and when I do, I'm a little lost at times on where to go especially at semi-touristy places. So when I happen to be in town, I had to poll my facebook friends and my buddy Austin recommended Parallel Pizza to me. The flavors and the textures definitely did not disappoint!
  
  We had a group of runners and nearby was one of our pit stops. So as a group, we had female and male as well as someone with a gluten allergy. Happy to see they had a cauliflower crust and salad options so we as a group went with 3 different pizzas: A large Sausage and Pepperoni, one with a cauliflower crust, and the Killer Dana.
  
  The chopped salad was quite good, refreshing and flavors all over. Tho options aren't great here for salad and wings, they do it well. Of course, the Chef here is Ryan Adams, (not the singer who has been on the news) but rather the chef behind 370 Common and Buttermilk Biscuit dabbles in these smaller, quality restaurants that are stand outs among their competitors. Oh yeah, the wings are terrific here btw.
  
  But my favorite pizza here is the Killer Dana. These Haven Style pies are made like an oval with small square cuts and the Dana wreaks with the fresh smell of garlic, cilantro pesto, and sausage. (they were out of the chicken sausage the day we were there). The other pizzas were great too and the cauliflower crust is super crispy and was hard to believe the texture was that good!  The large is a 16" and is good for 3 people while the medium is good for 2 people.  I believe each topping they charge were 3 dollars per pizza, thought this price was a little high if you were getting toppings like pepperoni.
  
  The star here is the crust. The thin, super crunchy crust that crumbles in your mouth. It's so good, that is if you like it crunchy and not chewy like some traditional pies. I'm game either way as long as it's good. I do think they don't use enough cheese nor sauce tho for my liking. Just a tad more would've been great.
  
  They do craft beer here, even local taps like Docent. There was no menu for the beer so I had to ask what's behind each tap handle that I was interested in. Unfortunately, there weren't anything that caught my eye on that day.
  
  There's a TV here, craft soda, and a super clean bathroom. Parking is free behind the back, just walk down the stairs.

  This place is awesome. The people that work there are friendly and helpful and the food is amazing. The only problem is I may not be able to eat pizza from anywhere else. It's obvious they use great ingredients and they know what they're doing. The salads are great and the craft soda is a nice touch as well. If you want pizza and you are in south Orange County, you need to try this place. You will be glad you did. Now one thing, you are going to pay more, but it's worth it.
